Verge Partnership with PornHub

In April 2018, BTCManagerreported on PornHub’s decision to accept the anonymous-cryptocurrency Verge for payments on its platform.

Pornhub has endorsed the partnership with a short video on YouTube which was shown along with a futuristic dialogue in the year 2077 amid a grandfather and his grandson in terms where Verge becomes the currency worldwide. Ahead of the promotional video on YouTube, Pornhub also confirms that the kick off will also be marked by events in Silicon Valley and New York City.

Litecoin creator Charlie Lee deemed the adoption of a cryptocurrency to be good for the entire sector:

In March 2018, Verge asked its users to donate about $3 million worth of XVG to disclose the budding partnership. This confirmation regarding the partnership amid Pornhub and Verge was slated to be revealed on March 26. However, Verge postponed it to April 17.

While the cryptocurrency touts itself as anonymity focused and was deemed as the most suitable for Pornhub’s business, a site linking IP addresses to Verge transactions emerged in January 2018, which contradicted the Verge team’s claims, and showed that the privacy offered is most likely no better than bitcoin, litecoin or many other altcoins.
